Jobs For Connecticut Now

One of Connecticut’s biggest employers is determined to move its operations out of the state, citing the high cost of doing business.  United Technologies Corp (UTC), employs 26,000 workers in Connecticut, largely at Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky and Hamilton Sundstrand.  According to the Hartford Courant, top UTC executives have spoken often about the high cost of operating in Connecticut for years.  Unfortunately, UTC isn’t the only employer in the state that has been affected by bad business policies. 

Companies like UTC don’t want to lay off Connecticut workers and move their operation to other parts of the country or to places like China and Poland.  But in many cases, leaving for greener pastures is the only way to survive.  It’s long overdue that our state’s decision makers realize that anti-business, anti-growth policies equate to job loss in Connecticut.
